If you could participate in a war like the ancient days with swords,arrows,and such. Would you?

I would be a total warrior of Sparta.
i dunno - war like that , your life expectancy is like 1 minute, especially in those army to army collision charges. I always felt bad for my guys when i played empire earth. =(
I'd be an archer, or maybe the lever-puller on the catapult. Fuck being in the front.
Whenever I see paintings of old Grecian or Roman wars, the dudes are always naked or nearly so, with their junk flying all over the place. It would suck if people really went into battle like that, I would be too concerned about not getting my wang lopped off instead of enjoying the battle.
Hell no.Quote:

Being in a Roman cohort wouldn't be THAT bad, I mean you'd be much better off than in most ancient armies. I guess your biggest problem then would be who you were fighting.
If I had a choice, hell no I wouldn't have went to war. I'd be back home with all the young ladies left behind and have fathered many many children. :D
Can I be Odysseus?
Personally, I would like to be Sparticus.Quote:

No, fuck you. I'M SPARTICUS!Quote:

LOL, no you wouldn't. You be crying in agony as some lowlife fuck looted your belongings and then slowly pushed a dirk into your chest.
I'd let you fag's fight with the hot sweaty men, with their ballsacs hanging out. Me, I'd make it my goal to be the first male to join up with the Amazon's.

And, they could train me too, so I could have hot, sweaty titties in my face all day long.
Jetman, the Amazons, they burned their right breast off, you know that, right?
I'd wanna be a viking. I'd feel right at home swinging a battle axe into some guys face, being in the cold, on a boat, fucking shit up for no-good reason.
That's the life right there!
And when you die, you have the choice to either battle, party and feast with Odin and your fellow warriors or fuck Freya, the goddess of beauty and fertility and her entire harem for all eternity. Tough choice.Quote:

You know, I watched this thing on PBS a while ago, they were searching for the true Amazons. They found an astonishingly close DNA match of one of the ancient Amazonian warrior skeletons with some Mongolian girl with fair skin and blonde hair.Quote:

Sure, they'd carve me up like a christmas turkey, but they'd do it with style, and be really polite about it.
I found the link to the site for the episode, you can read all about it here.Quote:

There were some pretty serious migrations going on in the ancient and prehistoric times.

No they wouldn't. TV and anime aren't real.Quote:
